SHOOTING SUSPECT GIVES UP.Byline: Lisa Van Proyen and Eric Leach Daily News Staff Writers A 36-year-old man shot a man through a door in his Sylmar home and did not come out for nearly four hours as police surrounded his home Monday. Responding to a message on his answering machine, Eric Frost called the Daily News at 6:30 p.m. Monday, about three hours after the shooting. He said he was unaware police had surrounded his home in the 13700 block of Gladstone Avenue. ``I came in here and went to sleep. I didn't know the police were here. I went in the music studio and went to sleep. I just woke up a few minutes ago,'' Frost said. ``I'm in here alone. I'm sober, I'm sound of mind and body. I'm just trying to protect my life. There's no reason for the police to be here.''
